Hera

Hera of the deep heart, beautiful goddess

whose true radiance would blind mortal eyes,

whose steps fall softly in the golden halls

of storied Olympos. In silks your fair form

is draped, O Hera, heavy with jewels is your crown,

the sweetest of perfumes surround you; in ancient

times you received the highest honors, the finest

of offerings were ever yours, your shining temples

stood across the land. Hera, defender of cities,

protector of marriage, champion of the love

that upholds a family, that cherishes a child,

you are the friend of those who hold the household dear.

Queen of the heavens, holder of the lotus staff,

the poppy and the pomegranate have you

in hand. Hera, supreme in dignity and grace,

unsurpassed in goodness and kindness, I praise you.

Hera, jealous wife of Zeus...
This is a beautiful tribute to the Queen of the gods...
